Of Asaph. Of God, why have you put us away from you for ever? why is the fire of your wrath smoking against the sheep who are your care? +Keep in mind your band of worshippers, for whom you gave payment in the days which are past, whom you took for yourself as the people of your heritage; even this mountain of Zion, which has been your resting-place. +Go up and see the unending destruction; all the evil which your haters have done in the holy place; +Sending out their voices like lions among your worshippers; they have put up their signs to be seen. +They are cutting down, like a man whose blade is lifted up against the thick trees. +Your doors are broken down with hammers and iron blades. +They have put on fire your holy place; they have made the place of your name unclean, pulling it down to the earth. +They have said in their hearts, Let us put an end to them all together; they have given over to the fire all God's places of worship in the land. +We do not see our signs: there is no longer any prophet, or anyone among us to say how long. +O God, how long will those who are against us say cruel things? will the hater go on looking down on your name for ever? +Why are you keeping back your hand, and covering your right hand in your robe? +For from the past God is my King, working salvation in the earth. +The sea was parted in two by your strength; the heads of the great sea-beasts were broken. +The heads of the great snake were crushed by you; you gave them as food to the fishes of the sea. +You made valleys for fountains and springs; you made the ever-flowing rivers dry. +The day is yours and the night is yours: you made the light and the sun. +By you all the limits of the earth were fixed; you have made summer and winter. +Keep this in mind, O Lord, that your haters have said cruel things, and that your name has been looked down on by a people of evil behaviour. +O give not the soul of your dove to the hawk; let not the life of the poor go out of your memory for ever. +Keep in mind your undertaking; for the dark places of the earth are full of pride and cruel acts. +O let not the crushed be turned back in shame; let the low man and the poor give praise to your name. +Up! O God, be the judge of your cause; keep in mind the bitter things which the man of evil behaviour says against you every day. +Keep in mind the voice of your haters; the outcry of those who come against you goes up every day. |
